hello, my family name is franklin, my grandmothers maiden name was goins!! from appomattox va!!
You’ll have to tell me more – we may be related! Franklins are peppered throughout my lineage, but Taylor doesn’t ring a bell. So, you could be a long-lost (er…never found?) cousin.
My father was Robert (Pete) Franklin. Son of Roland Scott Franklin, son of Samuel Dibble Franklin, Son of Frederick H. Franklin, Son of Jesse Franklin. I am trying to find out where Frederick H. Franklin from Appomattox is buried. Do you happen to have him in your family tree and could tell me where he is buried? He died in 1924 born in 1837 Dec. His wife was Martha A. Goin born in Jan. 1835 and died in May 22, 1907. Thanks Betty
Hi Betty – it appears we are related. I have a Samuel Dibrell Franklin (m. to Margaret Lou Amos), and I do have Samuel as the son of Frederick Henry Franklin (m. to Martha Ann Goin). The burial place for Frederick is Rt. 614, “near Joe Goin’s house, ” Clover Hill, Appomattox Co., VA. I’m not sure exactly where that location is on the map, as I do know that it is on private property and I haven’t pursued getting a photo of the graveyard. I can only assume that his wife, Martha, also is buried there, but I am not sure.
Now for my confusion, and I hope you can help. I have a Roland that is the son of Samuel, but I have his name as Roland Robert Franklin. Am I incorrect? I have him as married to Letha Catlett. Is that correct? I can see by my records that I did not go far with this family…but I do have a Robert Franklin as the son of Roland. Can you help me fill the holes in there? If you are a daughter of that Robert, then we are fifth cousins 1x removed. Pretty far out there, but connected nonetheless!
